POLICE dog Flak has retired having served Thames Valley Police with distinction – and never missed a day’s work!
German Shepherd Flak, who turns nine later this month, has never been sick or injured during his stint with TVP. When he first arrived at the Force as a six-month-old puppy, he was united with Sgt Gavin Morgan, from the Joint Operations Unit, before being trained.
Gavin said: “I would simply say he has been an outstanding police dog and has well earned his retirement. “He leaves four sons at TVP who are all operational police dogs so his legacy lives on. He will go to live as a civvie on the grounds of Blenheim Palace with an elderly couple who care for retired police dogs.” Thanks for your service! Be safe all – Admin DB

Cop saves woman after icy water bridge plunge

A police officer who jumped into ice cold waters in eastern Sweden is being hailed as a hero for saving a woman who had jumped off a bridge just moments before.

Witnesses alerted police on Monday night that a woman was standing on Mälarbron bridge in Södertälje and looked set to jump. Officers arrived just moments after the woman took the plunge into the icy waters below.

One of the policemen didn’t hesitate to jump in to try to save the woman, reported the local Länstidningen newspaper.

He then swam to the other side of the canal until he reached the woman, and brought her to the shoreline where his colleagues helped pull her to safety.

She was taken to hospital and is now in a stable condition.

Kjell Karlsson, commanding officer at the Södertälje police, said that the heroic officer had acted above and beyond the call of duty.

“It’s not just anyone who can manage to swim in cold water,” he told the paper.

“It’s really risky. This was truly a job well done .”

Snuffles, the dog with two noses, finds new home in Scotland

A five-month-old Belgian Shepherd dog named Snuffles, born with two noses, has finally found a new home. He had previously been rejected by four owners and was in the care of the Dog’s Trust Rehoming Centre in Uddingston, Glasgow, but is set to join his new family in East Lothian next week.

RIP Odin, you served brilliantly!

RIP Odin, you served brilliantly!

My wonderful colleague PC Darren Coupland sadly lost his partner and companion PD Odin this week at 13 yrs old. My reason for wanting to join the dog unit after a great attatchment with them both.
They had 6 wonderful years together. He was a fantastic dog, the biggest GP dog I have still seen to this day! He knew what to do without being asked, as an officer you could cuddle him and he knew you were the good guys! His public order lead went on and he bounded off to work, a fab dog! He had over 36 arrests during his carer. A wonderful dog and I know everyone that met Darren and Odin would never forget what a great team they were and the love they had for each other.
